I signed up... :icon_shrug: I may need some tutoring on my picks. Outside of the Padres and the Chicago teams, I don't really know much about the players...

I'm hoping Rexy, Toby and Tony will want to sign up for this league. Maybe Chiefsgal, Chippie, Kim, LG, or Sam....etc......... so I'm not the only one of the female persuasion...

I've played fantasy baseball several times, but I've always played head to head, not rotiserie, or what ever style this is. I'm learning too. Head to head just seems so much easier for the new people to understand, but I'm sure after a few weeks we'll all have this figured out. If I can help though, I will.

Well, my understanding is that if you rank #1 in a category (HR's, for example) at any given time you get 14 points for that. (That's in our league, because there's 14 teams.) If you rank 4th in that category, you get 11 points, and if you rank last you get 1.

There are 12(?) categories. If you rank #1 in all 12 you would have 168 points (14 x 12.) Of course, that would be pretty much impossible. If you ranked 7th in every category you would have 84 points (7 x 12.)

So...if at the end of a given day your ranking in the 12 categories is (for example):

i cant move kevin kouzmanoff to a 3rd base position because yahoo has him listed as a UTL. Hes the SD starting 3rd baseman...what problem does this cause me...well today for example...Mark Teahan isnt playing...he is the 3rd baseman for the Royals...i wanted to put Kouzie in at third and use jason giambi as UTL. but i cant put kouzie at third...so i had one player not playing a game today on my roster. Yahoo needs to step up on this...how do i contact them and complain??

I hate head to head. You win by doing better than 1 other team, only that team changes each week.

I have an "empty" spot in my pitchers area. How can I get a guy to put in there?

You don't have anybody on the bench, so you'll have to pick somebody up.

Click on add players and search for an available player.

And because we have waivers you'll have to wait 4 days to get him. And because you rank dead last in the waiver wire you'll have to hope nobody else tries to acquire the guy you want in those 4 days, or else you'll have to wait another 4 days to try and get someone else....again hoping nobody else tries to get him as well.

In rotiseree you have to do better than everybody every week.

I also hate waivers.

I guess we're just going to have to disagree, because rotiseree sucks *** over head to head. Does every team in the MLB play every other team every day? No, of course not. Besides being impossible, the concept is stupid, just like rotiseree. Head to head is the only way to play.

As far as waivers, you already know how I feel and at this point it really is strting to sound like you're whining. Man up dude. I'm dealing with roto, you can deal with waivers.

I'm not whining, i'm just ranting.

I'd actually ask to have waivers reinstated if it was removed in response to my ranting. I'm just stating my opinion on it, and only went on a further rant because an example was shown as to why I hate it. (Rexy needing a new pitcher and now having to wait 4 days to get one.)

It's up to the person who starts the league what he wants in place. If he wants waivers that's his perogative.

Wait Wait Wait....are you people telling me I am supposed to be paying attention and making moves and trades and whatever in this game........I thought all I had to do was pick a team and sit back and watch them win......:icon_shrug:

I'm terrible at playing this, could someone clarify for me how many pitcher do i need to play each day?

There isnt a certain amount of pitchers to play, You must play your starters when they pitch and put your closers in all the time cause you cant tell when they are going to get a save! You have to tool your players when they play like if your second baseman has a day off, and you have a second baseman on your bench that is playing that night you can swap them out so you can accrue points!

I'm in 7 leagues anyways. 1 H2H, 1 point based, the rest roto.

Actually the initial waiver period is over, so there are plenty of free agents that can be picked up immediately. Quit yer whining. :icon_tease:
